Techniques for searching first integrals by Lie group and application to gyroscope system (Q882957)

The Lie group method is used in searching for first integrals of autonomous systems. A class of nontrivial one-parameter Lie groups admitted by the classic problem of rotation of rigid body about a fixed point is applied to find the four first integral. Then the four first integrals in the cases of Euler, Lagrange and Kovalevskaya can be obtained in a unified form.
